If you look at the fact that the best chance we have for a good economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs.

So what we have to do is allow the private sector and the entrepreneurial spirit to lead us back to a job-filled recovery.
We have now under President Obama's leadership had 29 months in a row of private sector job growth. That stretch of positive private sector job growth hasn't happened since 2005. We still have a long way to go, but we are moving in the right direction.
I spent more time talking with this president [Donald Trump] in the last few days, I think, than I probably talked with this last president [Barack Obama] in the last six months. So this is something that he is working very closely hand in glove with congress.

I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.
The job numbers are positive. We've had more jobs created now than were lost during the recession.

Republican leaders have made clear they have no plans to use the power of government to stimulate the economy, invest in job creation and spur job growth.

That is why we have 15 million people unemployed.
I was in Congress for six months, and they put me on blood pressure medication. I flew helicopters in combat and I was fine, and I survived 13 months in recovery in the hospital...
